Bring on the Blush: 4 Everyday Wear Cream Blushers

When I was so enthusiastic about publishing this post yesterday CRASH! my laptop slipped out of my hands and fell and the screen was damaged. *wails* I was so depressed that I just couldn’t concentrate on anything and so I settled down on the couch near the window with this month’s issue of Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping with a cup of hot chocolate (a cuppa hot chocolate on a rainy day is all you need to drown your sorrows and miseries!!). So finally this post found its way on the blog today. Apologies for the delay in posting this one!A cream blush is THE product you need to fake a glow! I have extremely dry skin (I’m sure you’ve heard this a zillion times! but I just cannot stop myself from mentioning it in each and every post :P) and the one product I need to give me that instant glow is a cream blusher (which gives me a reason to skip tedious skin care routines and diets which promise to make my skin glow! Baaah!)

I had always wished that I could be one of those of lucky girls who could get up early in the morning and look fresh! Even if I get my so called beauty sleep I always looked like a nightmare until I discovered cream blushers.

Here are four cream blushers I use on an everyday basis. These colors look great on all skin tones (except NYX  Natural maybe).

I was browsing to do a celebrity inspired makeup tutorial, and luckily “The Voice” gave me an idea to browse Katrina Parker, and I found this beautiful picture of her.
 
The image isn’t clear enough, but I can make out distinctly that she’s having a soft smokey eye makeup embracing her beautiful blue eyes, that also defines her eyes, and has a golden glittery eyeliner/eyeshadow just along her lashes.

Swatch Attack: 7 Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows

Finally the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows are available in India! 😀 But the good news is they are available in Chennai! 😀 In the past three days I would have probably visited more than half a dozen Health and Glow outlets here to check if these were available!! And when I had made up my mind that my attempt was futile, I decided to buy a few inglot refill lipsticks to bury my sorrow. 😛 And then when I decided to give a final shot to see if the eyeshadows were available in an H&G outlet in the same mall they were there!! Damn!

The Mystical Sunset: Eyemakeup tutorial

By Upasana (Entry #7)

Hi all 🙂
 
Today I will be doing a fantasy eye makeup, just another collection to my creative tutorial posts (I hope they’re worthy and pleasure to see?? ) I saw this video on youtube long time back, and I don’t exactly remember what keyword lead me to that video, but nonetheless it was a pleasure to watch the lady do a better version of what I’m going to do today, its not soo good in terms of blending or whatever, but its something I tried for the first time, so apologies if its not upto your expectations 😀 And I know not a lot of people are even going to try it, but if there are a “few” then please go through the tutorial 😉 its fairly simple 
 
Step 1 :- I started by applying a white eyeshadow base over the eye lid and under the eyes, to even out some redness, and also to help pop out the shadows.
